      Blueprint compatibility after Universe update

      This question is really only one Schine can answer, but, seeing as there isn't anywhere else to post this... Anyone know what impact the Universe update will have on old blueprints? I'm wondering if I should bother with elaborate designs if they won't work in the new universe. Hopefully the...

      Betty AI Module

      So my idea is quite simple, have two variants of the AI Module. The regular ol dumb Bobby AI module, and the more complex Betty AI module. The Betty AI can be modified via Block Coding(using preset blocks to make a script rather than hard syntax) This would allow it to be a bit more accessible...

      Galaxy restructuring

      Reposting some suggestions I made some time ago in the Discussion with the devs thread, to bring its points into better visibility, cause I wouldn't want this aspect of the forthcoming Universe Update to be any less awesome than it could be ;) So here are a few suggestions (or speculations of...

      Feature Rarity and "Unique" features in the Universe Update

      In my opinions, one of the things open world, sandbox space sims do badly, often, is making otherwise interesting things far too abundant to continue to be interesting, and i sincerely hope this doesnt continue to be the case for Starmade in the future. I say continue, because from day 1 i...

      Some universe 2 ideas

      Some universe 2 ideas Over the years i have played this game i have seen many updates, most i liked, some i did not, and others were questionable if they are a “benefit” to the game experience. But something most of the update (excluding a few) all share a common similarity that fits into...

      Brainstorming Basic Creatures and Flora for the Future.

      schema recently stated theyre starting on the universe update, and last i heard, after that they wanted to start working on things like creatures and flora to populate that universe. So i thought, why dont we pitch in some ideas for very basic, super simple critters and plants that we feel...

      What the universe update needs most

      Hello. It's been a while since I've posted. I don't play starmade any more, and until today I haven't been following the game's development very closely at all, and honestly looking at the steam charts I can't really hold much hope that it'll ever come back and actually make it as the game I...

      Universe Update Brainstorming

      So I've been reading some rather old literature like this: Universe Update: Star Systems, Territory, and Space. Anyways, I've compiled my own list of things I would like to see (or see removed / not implemented) in The Universe Update. Feel free to add your own suggestions below 1) Remove...

      Planetary Vehicles

      We know the Universe update is coming, and with it will be improvements to planets, hopefully making them larger and more complex. If planets change (especially if they become larger), then we may need better tools for manipulating their structure. I propose a new basic element called a...

      Player-submitted NPC assets for the universe update

      I think that after the weapons update is released and where we want it, we should try to start a wave of community submissions for NPC ships and stations. This could be fun. Of course, we;d need to define standards for each NPC faction so the assets will typically look like they belong, and some...

      Friend or Foe

      Hi guys! So here's the issue; in order for another person to be "friendly" towards you they have to be part of your faction, or you both have to adjust your faction standings toward one another, in order for your ships not to shoot at eachother... right? Why not make a FoF (Friend or Foe)...
